Your Study Programme
At Brock you will collaborate with your Personal Tutor to create a Study Programme that is right for you and your learning objectives.
This initiative will enable you to enjoy a joined-up, holistic learning experience that incorporates and supports both your subjects and extra-curricular interests.
Below you will find a breakdown of key areas that make up your Study Programme.
Lessons
Naturally, your lessons form the core of your Study Programme. You should aim to attend every single one to help ensure success.
A Level lessons are 65 minutes long. You will have five lessons per-subject per-week, one of which is directed study time.
Vocational lessons are also 65 minutes long. Depending on your course, you will have between 14 and 18 lessons per-week, one of which is directed study time.
Directed Study
Directed study enhances and extends your learning beyond the classroom using your weekly study guide.
You are able to use the Learning Resource Centre, STEM study centre and specialist studios.
Student Support
You will meet weekly for a time-tabled hour with your Student Support Manager.
He or she is responsible for your pastoral support and progress whilst you are at college.
Enrichment
There are close to 40 Enrichment opportunities to help you get more out of college life.
Importantly, these can help boost your UCAS application and CV.
Next Steps events
Next Steps events are held from the start of your time at Brock.
These include university talks, external seminars and recruitment fairs.
Other activities
There are several other activities you can become involved with at college.
For example, you can:
- Join an academy
- Take part in volunteering
- Become a Student Ambassador
Work experience
You will be able to complete at least one week of work experience in your first year.
This is known as an industrial placement.
